Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Discussion

Total revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2019, increased 52%, to a record $4.9 million, compared to $3.2 million, in the fourth quarter of 2018. Revenue growth in the fourth quarter was primarily driven by rental days increasing 35% from approximately 145,738 in the third quarter to approximately 197,243 in the fourth quarter. Revenues were also impacted by a reduction in new driver incentives, seasonality and timing of commercial car supply onto the platform versus the same quarter in 2018.

Total operating expenses, consisting of sales and marketing, general and administrative, and research and development expenses, were $4.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $3.6 million in the same year-ago quarter. Operating expenses declined 28% from $6.0 million in the prior quarter. The increase in operating expenses for the year does include $0.4 million in non-cash stock-based compensation costs.

Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2019 totaled $4.9 million, or ($0.31) per share, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million, or $(0.30) per share, in the prior years quarter. Adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter, after excluding certain non-cash stock-based compensation for employee compensation and legal expenses was $4.4 million, or $(0.36) per share. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income per share is included within this press release.

Cash on December 31, 2019, totaled $10.6 million. This was primarily the result of the completion of a secondary offering in July 2019 so we believe that we have sufficient cash resources to continue operations indefinitely.

Full Year Quarter 2019 Financial Discussion

Total revenue in the full year of 2019 increased 62%, to a record $15.9 million, compared to $9.8 million, in the full year of 2018. Revenue growth in the full year was primarily driven by increased rental days that rose 61.4% during the year as net rental days increased from approximately 384,835 in 2018 to approximately 621,201 in the 2019. Revenues were also impacted by a reduction in new driver incentives, seasonality and timing of commercial car supply onto the platform.

Total operating expenses, consisting of sales and marketing, general and administrative, and research and development expenses, were $18.3 million in the full year of 2019, compared to $13.8 million in the same period a year ago. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased sales and marketing expenses to support business expansion and does include $1.9 million in non-cash stock-based compensation costs.

Net loss in the full year of 2019 totaled $12.4 million, or ($0.89) per share, compared to a net loss of $11.2 million, or $(1.31) per share, in the prior year. Adjusted net loss for the full year, after excluding certain non-cash stock-based compensation for employee compensation and legal expenses was $10.5 million, or $(0.75) per share.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee such outcomes. HyreCar may not realize its expectations, and its beliefs may not prove correct. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including, without limitation, market conditions and the factors described in the section entitled Risk Factors in HyreCars most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and HyreCars other filings made with the U.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement HYREs financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, HYRE presents certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, specifically adjusted EPS. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are defined below, should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.

HYRE is presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing HYREs operating results through the eyes of management and because HYREs believes that these measures provide a useful tool for investors to use in assessing HYREs operating performance against prior period operating results and against business objectives. HYRE uses the non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

The accompanying tables provide more detail on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures described above and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. HYRE has not reconciled adjusted EPS guidance to GAAP net income or GAAP net income per diluted share, respectively, because HYRE does not provide guidance for the reconciling items between these measures and GAAP net income or GAAP net income per diluted share, respectively. As certain of the items that impact GAAP net income and/or GAAP net income per diluted share cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, HYRE is unable to provide such guidance. Accordingly, a reconciliation to GAAP net income or GAAP net income per diluted share is not available without unreasonable effort.
